Community Partner

Be Part of the REC Ecosystem

Real Estate Collective Community Partners are vetted professionals and businesses who want to be meaningfully connected to Austin’s relationship-driven real estate community.

This tier is designed for those who value proximity, conversation, and long-term relationship building without the full commitment or category exclusivity of a Trusted Partner.

Community Partner membership is application-only to protect the integrity, energy, and culture of the room.

We Only Partner With People Who Are C.O.R.E.

REC does not partner with everyone. We partner with professionals who are C.O.R.E.

  • Connected: Well-established and deeply connected in the community.
  • Operational Excellence: A proven history of success and a reputation for excellent customer service.
  • Responsive & Reliable: Quick to respond. Does what they say they’ll do. Follows through.
  • Eager to Learn: Teachable. Growth-minded. Open to feedback and continuous improvement.

If that’s you, we’d love to explore a conversation.

Who This Is For

Community Partners are professionals who:

  • Believe relationships drive opportunity
  • Want consistent access to high-quality conversations
  • Are willing to show up, engage, and contribute
  • See REC as a long-term relationship platform — not a one-off event
  • Value reputation over promotion
